Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is secreted by mast cells and T-helper (TH) cells. First IL-9 production was associated to TH2 cells, but it was also found in other TH subsets. Recently, evidence for the existence of a specialized lineage of TH cells producing IL-9, named TH9, came up. IL-9 has pleiotropic effects, e.g. it promotes mast cell growth and function, is involved in CD4+ T cell subset differentiation and growth, enhances IgE production, supports hematopoiesis, and act on airway and gut epithelial cells.
